It’s time for #12 & #13! To see my personal challenge to myself, check out my first blog post about it..

#12: Jelly Bellys! You gotta love these little sugary wonders packed with so many different flavors that you can now create your own ’smoothie’ combinations by putting different flavors together in your mouth. They’re yummy, fun and test your creativity all at the same time. And, as we discovered today, cause quite a stir when put out in bulk for all to enjoy.

Erik digs in for some pleasurable flavors….

Johnson challenges Erik for Jelly Belly dominance…. who will taste the savory flavors next?

Johnson emerges the victor with a sinister grin …. be afraid Jelly Bellys, be very afraid.

Ok, so I have to admit that I didn’t exactly take the pictures in that order and it didn’t really happen that way, but it sure was fun to rearrange things a little and create a little fictional tension. But, seriously, we’re all still friends and there wasn’t really a Jelly Belly war … yet. By the way, Johnson is our Fusion Young Adult Pastor and he does a great job…. check out the Fusion links in my sidebar to see what it’s all about and, if you’re lookin’ for somewhere to connect and are 20-something - single or married - it’s perfect for you!

#13: Family Game Night! Now this is something to seriously give thanks for … taking time to spend as a family and play a simple game of cards. It provides time to talk and just be goofy (which my girls are great at)…. here are some pics from tonight’s Skip Bo challenge in which Heather emerged the winner - really - she beat the socks off the rest of us.

And, if you’re into random silliness, use the links below to view the videos of my girls being very, very silly.
